NASAThe Upper Stack (2/19/2009)
Just before dawn on Launch Complex 576-E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a crane lifts the tent covering (at left) NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory, or OCO, the Taurus XL upper stack and the umbilical tower. The tent removal will allow OCO to be hoisted into place atop the Taurus rocket's Stage 0. Image credit: NASA/Randy Beaudoin Feb. 18, 2009
